Preah Vihear Pharmacy

Preah Vihear Pharmacy (ឱសថស្ថាន ព្រះវិហារ) is a pharmacy in Siemreap, Cambodia — one of 85 health services we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 2,866 mapped locations in Siemreap. In Khmer it would be described as ឱសថស្ថាននៅសៀមរាប. It sits at 13.35811, 103.85504, which is the coordinate any Cambodian tuk-tuk or PassApp driver can be shown directly if the name is unfamiliar to them.

As a health service, it serves both residents and visitors passing through Siemreap. It has no official website, so opening hours and prices are best confirmed by phone or by asking locally on the day — small businesses in Cambodia change hours seasonally and close for family events and festivals.

The easiest way to find Preah Vihear Pharmacy is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 0 m north-west of Wat Chocolate, and about 0 m north-east of BIDC, with Cambodia Angkor Air a further 0 m east. Drivers in Siemreap usually navigate by these anchors rather than street numbers, so naming the closest one gets you there faster than an address.

From the centre of Siemreap, a tuk-tuk or PassApp ride is the standard way to arrive; short in-town trips generally cost US$1 to US$3, and longer provincial runs are worth agreeing in advance. Rented motorbikes are widely available from guesthouses, and self-driving is realistic on sealed roads in the dry season — less so between June and October, when heavy afternoon rain floods side streets and unpaved approaches.

Preah Vihear Pharmacy is listed as a pharmacy in Siemreap. Pharmacies in Cambodia usually open from early morning until about 8pm or 9pm and sell most common medicines over the counter, while clinics run morning and late-afternoon sessions with a break in the middle of the day. Hospitals keep emergency departments staffed around the clock, though after-hours diagnostic capability varies a lot outside Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.

Payment is normally cash on the spot; international insurance is rarely billed directly outside the large private hospitals in the capital. For anything serious, travellers are commonly referred or evacuated to Phnom Penh or Bangkok, so keep your insurer's emergency number and your passport with you.

Preah Vihear Pharmacy is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Wat Chocolate (cafe, 0 m north-west), BIDC (bank, 0 m north-east), Cambodia Angkor Air (travel agency, 0 m east), Ambre (clothes, 0 m north-west). Pairing a visit here with one or two of those makes a more efficient half-day, especially if you are paying a driver by the trip rather than by the hour.
